Wednesday's Key Race Tips: The Yeomanstown Stud Irish EBF Stakes We’ve got a rare midweek treat on our hands on Wednesday, as Naas provides the race of the day with the Listed Yeomanstown Stud Irish EBF Stakes. Run over 6f, it’s open to fillies and mares aged three and upwards and recent history suggests that three-year-olds have the advantage, having won seven of the last nine renewals. Perhaps the weight-for-age allowance is the dominant factor here. A field of 12 has been declared for Wednesday’s race and our expert has picked out their two strongest fancies that should be in the mix.

Ger Lyons’ Sparking Sea is towards the head of the market, while Super Sox is also prominent for Paddy Twomey and her third in the Renaissance Stakes suggests she has every chance. Twomey’s four-year-old remains lightly raced but does have to buck the age trend. Bonus Time is even less exposed, but she has a bit to find on the evidence of her handicap defeat recently. Carla Ridge isn’t without a chance, now dropped in grade, while John James Feane’s Charasson is the unknown quantity who is difficult to write off. Navassa Island, Bellaphina, Greatest Drama, Little Queenie and Unexpected Issues all deserve to be significantly priced outsiders. The Sky’s the limit for Majesty SKY MAJESTY was unbeaten as a two-year-old, winning all three of her starts. She started off in a Newbury maiden, where she came out on top by a nose, and several subsequent winners have come out of the race. The daughter of Blue Point took the step up to Group 3 level in her stride to score at Ayr next. Held up in the early stages, she began to make headway after the halfway mark and took up the lead inside the final furlong. William Haggas' filly saw the trip out well and went on to score by a neck. A trip to France was next on the agenda and she duly obliged in the Group 2 Criterium de Maisons-Laffitte. The heavy ground was no obstacle and she won comfortably, beating the very useful Patrice Cottier-trained filly Daylight. Her two starts this season have been a little underwhelming but the drop in grade will help. This is certainly much easier than her last task, the Commonwealth Cup. Finishing a respectable eighth, she's entitled to be bang in the mix here. Lady With The Lamp could shine brightest Joseph O’Brien has been in pretty good form recently and has had plenty of winners in the last couple of weeks. It would be no surprise if LADY WITH THE LAMP was to add to that tally. She was well beaten in the Commonwealth Cup last time out but should find life more comfortable at this level. O’Brien’s filly began the season with Listed success at Cork and a couple of subsequent winners have come out of the race, including Listed scorer Vespertilio. Following that up with a successful raid in Britain, she ran on well to score narrowly against a fair level of opposition. Clearly she’s not a Group 1 performer, but her sights have been lowered here and a much more competitive performance is expected as a result.
